COLUMBIA RECORDS EXTRACT FROM HOUSE RULES: ENCORES NOT PERMITTED Advance Program on Page 30 PROGRAM NOTES By FELIX BOROWSKI Prelude and March, from Dudley Buck. “Scenes from Longfellow’s Born Mar. 10, 1839, at Hartford, Conn. Golden Legend.” Died Oct. 6, 1909, at Orange, N. J. Dudley Buck was the son of a shipping merchant at Hartford, Conn. His mother was the daughter of Judge Adams, of Portsmouth, N. H., a prominent lawyer in whose office Daniel Webster had begun his law studies. Neither of Dudley Buck’s parents were musical, and it was the desire of his father that the young man should take up the commercial career which he himself had pursued. It followed, therefore, that the talent for music made evident by the boy was not considered any­ thing more important than a means of harmless amuse­ ment. Dudley’s first music study, by that token, was made by himself from such material as he could find. Somewhat later the elder Buck, perceiving that his son was more likely to win success by taking up the career of art than by being forced into business which was repugnant to him, permitted him to take lessons in musi­ cal theory and organ-playing. In 1858 Buck, now nineteen years of age, had made such excellent progress that it was determined to send him to Germany in order to round off his musical train­ ing. At that time the Conservatory of Leipzig, which had been founded by Mendelssohn in 1843, was the principal school of music in Europe, and to that institution Buck was admitted as a student in musical theory and compo­ sition of Moritz Hauptmann and Ernst Er. Richter, of Julius Rietz in orchestration and of Louis Plaidy and Ignaz Moscheles in piano-playing. Buck stayed'eigh- teen months at Leipzig, and as organ-playing was par­ ticularly appealing to him, he went to Dresden in order to become a pupil of Johann Schneider, one of the most famous organists then living, who had been the teacher of Mendelssohn, Schumann, Nicolai and Liszt. 5 PROGRAM NOTES—Continued Having spent three years in Germany, Dudley Buck betook himself to Paris, where he tarried for another year. On his return to the United States in 1862 he officiated for some time as organist in the Park Church, Hartford, his native city. After the death of his parents Buck moved to Chicago and for three years was organ­ ist of St. James’ Church. The Great Fire of 1871 swept away Buck’s house, and in that holocaust he lost most of his manuscript compositions—a concerto for piano, a concert overture, a trio for piano and strings, etc. Dis­ couraged, Buck departed again for the East. For a time he became organist at St. Paul’s Church, Boston, but his growing reputation as a composer and organist had drawn to Dudley Buck the attention of Theodore Thomas, and that conductor advised him to settle in New York. There, in 1875, Thomas made him his assist­ ant conductor at the concerts that were being given under Thomas’ baton at Central Park Garden. In 1877 Buck was appointed director of the Apollo Club, New York, and organist of Holy Trinity Church, Brooklyn, which latter post he held until his retirement in 1903. As a composer Buck was finding ready recogni­ tion as one of the coming men. In 1876 he was invited to write “The Centennial Meditation of Columbus” for the Centennial Exposition at Philadelphia, a commis- sion which had come to him at the behest of Theodore Thomas, who also had been instrumental in awarding to Richard Wagner the commission to compose his Grand Festival *March. Nor was Buck’s reputation as a composer confined to his native country. His choral work, “The Light of Asia,” was performed with great success at London in 1885 and numerous works for organ, etc. were popular in England. Buck’s works in the larger forms include the choral compositions: “Chorus of Spirits and Hours,” for male voices; “King Olaf’s Christmas,” for male voices; “The Nun of Nidarus,” for male voices; “The Voyage of * This -work was produced May 10, 1876, at the opening of the centennial commemoration of the declaration of independence of the United States. Theo­ dore Thomas was the conductor. The manuscript of the March is now in the Newberry Library, Chicago, to which it was presented by Mr. and Mrs. Thomas. 7 PROGRAM NOTES—Continued Columbus,” for male voices; “Paul Revere’s Ride,” for male voices; “Centennial Meditation of Columbus,” for mixed chorus; “Legend of Don Munio,” for mixed chorus; “The Golden Legend,” for mixed chorus; “Eas­ ter Morning,” for mixed chorus; “The Light of Asia,” for mixed chorus; The Forty-sixth Psalm, for mixed chorus; “The Christmas Year,” a series of five cantatas, for mixed chorus. For orchestra Buck wrote an over­ ture, “Marmion.” There came from his pen, too, a comic opera, “Deseret,” and anthems, offertories and other church music as well as works for organ. He did not confine his activities only to composition. Buck was the author of the following books: Illustrations in Choir Accompaniment, The Influence of the Organ in History and a Dictionary of Musical Forms. Dudley Buck’s work for solo voices, chorus and or­ chestra, “Scenes from Longfellow’s Golden Legend,” was the outcome of a prize competition for a choral work instituted in 1879 by the Cincinnati Musical Festival. The prize was $1,000.00. Twenty scores were submitted by American composers, and one of them—George E. Whiting—selected the same subject as that which had been taken by Buck. The latter was the successful com­ petitor, and his work was produced, under the direction of Theodore Thomas, at a concert of the festival, Cin­ cinnati, May 20,1880. The soloists were Anna B. Norton, J. F. Rudolphsen, Fred Harvey and Myron W. Whit­ ney. In addition to the new work by Buck, the program comprised Berlioz’ overture, “King Lear,” and the third act of Wagner’s “Götterdämmerung.” The Chicago Tribune sent a special correspondent to Cincinnati to report on the festival, and that reviewer wrote in part concerning Buck’s new work: “Mr. Buck’s tendency toward Wagnerism in his musical thought is no secret to those who have watched his progress, and in this work he displays it by his skillful use of the Leitmotiven and by his close linking of the poetical and musical ideas by which he secures the emotional expression, but without any sacrifice of the melodious ele­ ment. Again in the episodes, when he uses the orchestra as a factor in narration of the story, one may clearly trace the influence of Liszt and Berlioz. 9 Read the RECORD NEWS each month and be well informed on the latest record releases from home and abroad.

(total time 3:36:3l2). A "musical trivia" question: "Which American symphony orchestra was the first to record under its own name and conductor?" You will find the answer at the beginning of the 12-CD collection, The Chicago Symphony Orchestra: The First 100 Years, issued by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO). The date was May 1, 1916, and the conductor was Frederick Stock. 3 This is part of the orchestra's celebration of the hundredth anniversary of its founding by Theodore Thomas in 1891. Thomas is represented here, not as a conductor (he died in 1904) but as the arranger of Wagner's Triiume. But all of the other conductors and music directors are represented, as well as many guests. With one exception, the 3-CD set, The Centennial Collection: Chicago Symphony Orchestra, from RCA-Victor is drawn from the recordings that the Chicago Symphony made for that company. All were released previously, in various formats-mono and stereo, 78 rpm, 45 rpm, LPs, tapes, and CDs-as the technologies evolved. Although the present digital processing varies according to source, the sound is generally clear; the Reiner material is comparable to RCA-Victor's on-going reissues on CD of the legendary recordings produced by Richard Mohr.

  • Table of Contents Introduction 1
    PREJUDICE AND PATRIOTISM: FREDERICK STOCK, ANTI-GERMANISM, AND AMERICAN MUSIC IN WORLD WAR I Anna Moir April 23, 2009 HIST400: History Senior Thesis, Haverford College ABSTRACT In this thesis, I am examining the anti-German sentiment that swept through American society during World War I, with a focus on its impact on the classical music community. When the United States entered the fighting in 1917, the government had to create a sense of purpose, unity, and national identity among the public in order to organize an effective war effort and overcome the country’s lack of both preparation and compelling reasons to be involved in the conflict at all. To achieve this, the new Committee on Public Information organized a large- scale propaganda campaign to encourage a combination of unwavering nationalism and fear of the enemy, specifically the Germans. The propaganda was effective to the point where extreme paranoia took over the nation, and people began to stigmatize anything that was even remotely connected with Germany. In addition, the government and its propaganda created such a conformist environment that dissenters of any kind, German or otherwise, faced persecution and incarceration. Laws passed during that time took away many basic civil liberties such as freedom of speech and right to privacy, so it was even easier to identify and catch anybody who was even remotely critical of the war or the United States in general. At the same time, music had become intertwined with wartime politics and could not escape the irrational prejudice that had pervaded the nation. Germany had traditionally provided the greatest influence of any country on the development of a musical identity in the United States, but in the war, many Americans chose to link its artistic identity with its politics and militarism.

    PIPES OF THE PAST: REGISTRATION PRACTICES OF SELECTED COMPOSERS FOR THE AMERICAN CENTENNIAL ERA ORGAN By © 2019 Ian K. Classe M.M., Pittsburg State University, 2015 B.A., Truman State University, 2012 Submitted to the graduate degree program in the School of Music and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts. Chair: Michael Bauer James Higdon Roberta Freund Schwartz Brad Osborn Susan Earle Date Defended: The dissertation committee for Ian K. Classe certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: PIPES OF THE PAST: REGISTRATION PRACTICES OF SELECTED COMPOSERS FOR THE AMERICAN CENTENNIAL ERA ORGAN Chair: Michael Bauer Date Approved: ii Abstract American organ music prior to the twentieth century is a somewhat neglected area of organ study due to biases of early-twentieth-century academia. This lecture seeks to better familiarize the audience with a small section of that neglected study by examining the relationship between the organs, composers, and compositions of the Centennial era (ca. 1870–1900) through the lens of organ registration. This particular period of nineteenth-century American music became the era when American composers developed a quintessentially American culture around the organ—a culture which would provide the foundation for much of what came after it. By examining this period and its contributions, we gain a better understanding of later musical developments in the organ world and an appreciation for what came before. iii Acknowledgements I would like to offer special thanks to Dr. Rosi Kaufman, Director of Music at Rainbow Mennonite Church, for her knowledge and assistance on this project as well as facilitating my use of the Hook organ for the lecture recital.
